Quote of the Day

Step one on the list of flight engine faliure is the most fascinating. It is simply: FLY THE AIRPLANE. Because pilots sometimes become so desperate trying to restart the engine, so crushed by the cognitve overload of thinking through what could have gone wrong, they forget this most basic task. FLY THE AIRPLANE. This isn't rigidity. This is making sure everyone has their best shot at survival.
